Combination Flucytosine and High‐Dose Fluconazole Compared with Fluconazole Monotherapy for the Treatment of Cryptococcal Meningitis: A Randomized Trial in Malawi
2010
Preserved Fulltext
Cryptococcal meningitis is a major cause of HIV-associated morbidity and mortality in Africa. Improved oral treatment regimens are needed, as amphotericin B is neither available nor feasible in many centers. Fluconazole 1200 mg/d is more fungicidal than 800 mg/d, but mortality remains unacceptably high. Therefore we examined the effect of adding oral flucytosine to fluconazole.
